Episode 1

Bootcamp

What does it take to start a global tech company? How do you know if the world actually wants the product you’re creating?
Episode 1 takes us behind the scenes of startup bootcamp, where 20 female-led startups have been selected from hundreds of applicants to take part in a rapid validation process and pitch for a spot in the SheStarts accelerator, with $100,000 each in investment up for grabs. For some of the founders, this is the first time they have stepped into the world of startups - leaving behind their day jobs to find out if their idea is game-changing enough to make it on the global tech landscape. From 20 founders, only ten will be selected.
This is where it all begins.
